While travel to Cuba may now be difficult for Americans, such is not the case in China and Japan as promotional material has appeared in both countries.

According to Prensa Latina:

Beijing, Oct 27 (Prensa Latina) People in China and Japan are learning about Cuba's attractions through images of emblematic sites and promotional events that are part of a tribute to the 500th anniversary of the founding of Havana. 

As part of the 'Authentic Cuba' promotional campaign, several bus stops in Beijing are showing photos of Havana and Cuban beaches. 

Buses are running through the cities of Shanghai and Guangzhou bearing images of the Bay of Havana, with its iconic lighthouse in the Morro Castle, Havana's Malecon (seawall) and old vehicles in Old Havana, along with diving practices and the world-famous Cuban tobacco crops. 

All of them travel through busy streets, important tourist areas and business districts in Chinese cities. 

Meanwhile, in the Japanese city of Osaka, similar images decorate the Cuban stand at the Japan 2019 International Tourism EXPO.
